Andělé a víly Sri Chinmoy

O andělech a vílách bylo napsáno mnohé. Jsou to bytosti, které nás fascinují a odedávna upoutávají naši pozornost. V tomto výběru z rozhovorů autor objasňuje roli andělů i víl jako poslů spojujících nás lidi s čímsi vyšším, pro nás zatím nepoznaným. Nedíváme se zde očima někoho, kdo dokázal do světa andělů a víl na okamžik nahlédnout a je z něj v údivu. Pro Sri Chinmoye je tento svět stejně viditelný, jako je pro nás viditelný náš lidský svět, a popisuje jej se samozřejmostí a přirozeností, která nás může udivovat. Odpovědi na otázky se v knize prolínají s aforismy a krásnými ilustracemi.

Desire and Delusion Schnitzler Arthur

Dying, Flight into Darkness, and Fraulein Else reveal the depths of Schnitzler's psychological and moral understanding of life as well as the masterful storytelling techniques that immerse the reader into the very center of his characters' thoughts and emotions. The tales of Arthur Schnitzler--especially as rendered in Margret Schaefer's clear, uncluttered translations--are many suggestive, allusive, and dreamlike things. But they are most certainly not the work of a period writer. --Chris Lehmann, Washington Post Book

Velké vymírání na konci křídy Socha Vladimír

Vývoj života na Zemi nebyl pouhým sledem předurčených dějů a událostí. Život se v rozporu s některými názory nevyvíjel přímočaře a nesměřoval ke stále větší složitosti a dokonalosti. Místo toho se v geologickém a fosilním záznamu setkáváme s nečekanými zvraty a změnami, které někdy postihly a přerušily dlouhodobé evoluční trendy, a dokonce mohly změnit i samotný směr vývoje organického světa na naší planetě.Snad nejlepším a nejintenzivněji zkoumaným příkladem takové velké a dramatické změny je hromadné vymírání druhů, ke kterému došlo na konci křídy přibližně před 66 miliony let. Tehdy do oblasti budoucího Mexického zálivu narazila asi deset kilometrů velká planetka, což následně vedlo k celé smršti katastrofických událostí, jejichž výsledkem bylo vyhynutí asi tří čtvrtin všech druhů na naší planetě. O dějinách výzkumu této události, jeho pozadí, okolnostech a nejnovějších výsledcích pojednává tato kniha.

Horsemanship-Training - Diacont, Kerstin

Das Interesse an Horsemanship ist riesig; die Vorteile dieser besonderen Form der Bodenarbeit sind mittlerweile bei Reitern aller Reitweisen bekannt. Horsemanship begeistert, weil es die Kommunikation zwischen Mensch und Pferd verbessert. Weil es Aufmerksamkeit, Konzentration und Achtsamkeit bei beiden Partnern fördert. Weil es eine vertrauensvolle Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Pferd herstellt und deswegen zur Angstbewältigung schon vor dem Reiten beiträgt.§Die bekannte Ausbilderin Kerstin Diacont stellt in diesem Ratgeber die Grundlagen und Basislektionen vor sowie deren Nutzen beim späteren Reiten.

Cambridge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence Frankish Keith The Open University Milton Keynes

Artificial intelligence, or AI, is a cross-disciplinary approach to understanding, modeling, and creating intelligence of various forms. It is a critical branch of cognitive science, and its influence is increasingly being felt in other areas, including the humanities. AI applications are transforming the way we interact with each other and with our environment, and work in artificially modeling intelligence is offering new insights into the human mind and revealing new forms mentality can take. This volume of original essays presents the state of the art in AI, surveying the foundations of the discipline, major theories of mental architecture, the principal areas of research, and extensions of AI such as artificial life. With a focus on theory rather than technical and applied issues, the volume will be valuable not only to people working in AI, but also to those in other disciplines wanting an authoritative and up-to-date introduction to the field.

Forensic Plant Science Bock Jane H.

Forensic botany is the application of plant science to the resolution of legal questions. A plant’s anatomy and its ecological requirements are in some cases species specific and require taxonomic verification; correct interpretation of botanical evidence can give vital information about a crime scene or a suspect or victim. The use of botanical evidence in legal investigations in North America is relatively recent. The first botanical testimony to be heard in a North American court concerned the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh’s baby boy and the conviction of Bruno Hauptmann in 1935. Today, forensic botany encompasses numerous subdisciplines of plant science: plant anatomy and dendrochronology, systematics, ecology, limnology and oceanography, statistics, palynology, and molecular biology. Forensic Plant Science presents chapters on plant science evidence, plant anatomy, plant taxonomic evidence, plant ecology, case studies for all of the above, as well as the educational pathways for the future of forensic plant science. Provides techniques, collection methods, and analysis of digested plant materialsShows how to identify plants of use for crime scene and associated evidence in criminal casesThe book’s companion website: http://booksite.elsevier.com/9780128014752, will host microscopic atlas of common food plants, a key to the identification of food plants and references for plant identification and ecology

Design of Modern Heuristics

Many books describe the application of heuristic optimization methods to a wide variety of optimization problems. However, the process of developing an efficient optimization method for the specific problem at hand seems to be considered a "black art", the domain of optimization specialists.§This book focuses on the practitioner and demonstrates how to apply heuristic optimization methods. It breaks down the art of designing efficient optimization methods into engineering tasks, and examines how to build successful applications of heuristic optimization methods. In so doing the reader learns how to properly model the problem, choose the optimization method, adapt that method to the properties of the specific problem, and, finally, implement the method.§This book will benefit practitioners in the field of planning and optimization; researchers who deal with heuristic optimization in information systems, operations research, and computer science; and students in related fields. The reader should have some basic knowledge of mathematics, and, ideally, of heuristic optimization.

History of Greek Fire and Gunpowder

For nearly 600 years, from the battles of the early fourteenth century to the dropping of the atomic bomb at Hiroshima, firearms derived from gunpowder and other chemicals defined the frightful extent of war. The apparatus and materials used in World War I would have been familiar to our remote ancestors. In this classic work, first published in 1960, James Riddick Partington provides a worldwide survey of the evolution of incendiary devices, Greek fire, and gunpowder. Greek fire, a composition Partington believes was made of a distilled petroleum fraction and other ingredients (but not saltpetre), was most famously used in the sieges of Constantinople and the Crusades. Partington moves from its antecedents--other incendiaries used in ancient warfare--to European gunpowder recipe books (The Latin Book of Fire, Bellifortis, and Feuerwerkbuch) and the history of infernal machines, mines, canon, small arms, and artillery. His book includes chapters on gunpowder and weapons in Muslim lands, India, and China--including fire books, the use of gunpowder as a propellant, the artillery of the Mughal Emperors, and the use of saltpetre in explosives.He traces the development of gunpowder to eleventh-century China and cites the first known mention and picture of a firearm in 1326. "The history of gunpowder and firearms has attracted many authors with varying interests. The general historian must take account of major inventions effecting revolutions in the life of nations. The historian of science is concerned mostly with the invention of gunpowder. The historian of technology examines the development in the manufacture of explosives and weapons, and the way in which gunpowder has found applications in the peaceful arts. The military historian deals mainly with the use of gunpowder as an explosive and a propellant ...and the development of firearms and their use in warfare. No recent book in English (or for that matter in any language) has attempted a concise survey of the subject."--from the Preface

Reading Egyptian Art

The legacy of Egyptian art, from colossal statues to finely wrought jewellery and minuscule charms, can appear deceptively simple. Without knowledge of the hieroglyphic images incorporated in the art, much remains obscure. Here is an introduction to the symbolic language of hieroglyphs: a directory of the one hundred signs used most often in Egyptian painting and sculpture - from "seated man" and "lion" to "vulture" and "ankh". This guide offers a comprehensive explanation of the symbols, their origins, identification and uses. The hieroglyphs are arranged thematically, fully cross-referenced, and illustrated by newly-commissioned drawings and photographs. The result is a companion for all those interested in the mysteries of ancient Egyptian art.
